  1. Love this clip but hate the Salieri reference, it makes people that have seen Amadeus that they really were enemies in real life when the truth is the opposite, in fact when Mozart died it was Salieri that paid for him to have a proper funeral and burial.

  2. theres such a tragic tone to this scene. i havent seen the movie, but just the image of ed sheeran, a phenomenal songwriter in his own right, seeing this kid with what he believes is an incredible talent for the very same thing, and feeling threatened. to the point that he challenges him, almost to prove to himself that he has nothing to worry about. he goes out and performs his song with great songwriting, but then just gets absolutely demolished by jack. playing a song he didnt even write. and feeling so completely defeated and doubting himself because of it. its just so sad to me, and incredibly well acted by ed sheeran.

  3. As smart as Ed Sheeran is, he had only two options after hearing Jack play "The Long and Winding Road." First was what he did say that this song was really the best song he had ever heard and Jack Malik was far better that Ed could ever be. The second was that Jack somehow cheated. No songwriter no matter how much a genius could have written in ten minutes a masterpiece of melody, rhythm, lyrics, and metaphorical music. It was simply not possible. In fairness to Ed he could not have suspected the truth that Jack came from an alternate universe where the Beatles existed. Perhaps he chose to accept the bitter truth even if wrong that right here in front of him was the greatest songwriter of all time. The only ones who really knew the truth were the bearded scruffy man and the middle aged blonde who likely came from that same alternate universe the same way that Jack did–in a field displacement warp hole.

  4. This scene shows the joyful experiment of this film, to challenge us to even begin to imagine for ourselves a world without knowing Beatles music. This scene also demonstrates the awe in which the original songwriters are held. It's just perfect and awe inspiring and everyone involved felt it and portrayed it.
